IMPORTANT NOTE:
THE BATTERY SHOULD NOT BE OPENED OR INCINERATED. EXPOSURE TO THE
INGREDIENTS CONTAINED WITHIN OR THEIR COMBUSTION PRODUCTS COULD BE HARMFUL.

SECTION III - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

IF FIRE OR EXPLOSION OCCURS WHEN BATTERIES ARE ON CHARGE, SHUT OFF POWER TO
CHARGER.

IN CASE OF FIRE WHERE LITHIUM POLYMER BATTERIES ARE PRESENT, FLOOD THE AREA
WITH WATER. IF ANY BATTERIES ARE BURNING, WATER MAY NOT EXTINGUISH THEM,
BUT WILL COOL THE ADJACENT BATTERIES AND CONTROL THE SPREAD OF FIRE. CO2,
DRY CHEMICAL, AND FOAM EXTINGUISHERS ARE PREFERRED FOR SMALL FIRES, BUT
ALSO MAY NOT EXTINGUISH BURNING LITHIUM ION BATTERIES. BURNING BATTERIES
WILL BURN THEMSELVES OUT. VIRTUALLY ALL FIRES INVOLVING LITHIUM ION
BATTERIES CAN BE CONTROLLED WITH WATER. WHEN WATER IS USED, HOWEVER,
HYDROGEN GAS MAY BE EVOLVED WHICH CAN FORM AN EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE WITH AIR.
LITH-X (POWDERED GRAPHITE) OR COPPER POWDER FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, SAND, DRY
GROUND DOLOMITE OR SODA ASH MAY ALSO BE USED. THESE MATERIALS ACT AS
SMOTHERING AGENTS.

CONTENTS OF AN OPEN BATTERY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS CHEMICAL BURNS OF MOUTH,
ESOPHAGUS, AND GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT. IF BATTERY OR OPEN BATTERY IS
INGESTED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING OR GIVE FOOD OR DRINK. SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. CALL NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION HOTLINE FOR ADVICE
AND FOLLOW-UP (202-625-3333) COLLECT, DAY OR NIGHT.

INHALATION:
CONTENTS OF AN OPEN BATTERY CAN CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. INHALATION OF
VAPORS MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT AND LUNGS.
PROVIDE FRESH AIR AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.

SKIN CONTACT:
CONTENTS OF AN OPEN BATTERY CAN CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION AND/OR CHEMICAL
BURNS. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH SKIN WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF
A CHEMICAL BURN OCCURS OR IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.

EYE CONTACT:
CONTENTS OF AN OPEN BATTERY CAN CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION AND CHEMICAL BURNS.
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES,
LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER LIDS, UNTIL NO EVIDENCE OF THE CHEMICAL REMAINS.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.

SECTION V - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

STORAGE:
THE LITHIUM ION BATTERY SHOULD BE BETWEEN 25% AND 75% OF FULL CHARGE WHEN
STORED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL VENTILATED
AREA. ELEVATED TEMPERATURES CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF BATTERY PERFORMANCE,
LEAKAGE, OR RUST. DO NOT EXPOSE THE BATTERY TO OPEN FLAMES.

MECHANICAL CONTAINMENT:
CONTAINMENT OF THIS BATTERY IN A MANNER THAT OBSTRUCTS OR DEFEATS THE
SAFETY VENT OR ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT MECHANISMS DESIGNED INTO THIS BATTERY
CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND DEVICE
DAMAGE. THIS BATTERY IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE POTTED, ENCLOSED IN HERMETIC
OVER PACKAGING, OR SEALED BY ANY MEANS THAT PREVENTS FREE OPERATION OF THE
DESIGNED SAFETY MECHANISMS.

HANDLING:
DO NOT EXPOSE THE BATTERY TO EXCESSIVE PHYSICAL SHOCK OR VIBRATION. SHORT
CIRCUITING SHOULD BE AVOIDED; HOWEVER, ACCIDENTAL SHORT CIRCUITING FOR A
FEW SECONDS WILL NOT SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE BATTERY. PROLONGED SHORT CIRCUITS
WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY TO RAPIDLY LOSE ENERGY, COULD GENERATE ENOUGH HEAT
TO BURN SKIN, AND MAY CAUSE THE SAFETY RELEASE VENTS OF THE ENCLOSED CELLS
TO OPEN. SOURCES OF SHORT CIRCUITS INCLUDE JUMBLED BATTERIES IN BULK
CONTAINERS, COINS, METAL JEWELRY, METAL COVERED TABLES, OR METAL BELTS USED
FOR ASSEMBLY OF BATTERIES IN DEVICES. TO MINIMIZE RISK OF SHORT CIRCUITING,
THE PROTECTIVE CASE SUPPLIED WITH THE BATTERY SHOULD BE USED TO COVER THE
TERMINALS WHEN TRANSPORTING OR STORING THE BATTERY. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR
DEFORM THE BATTERY. SHOULD AN INDIVIDUAL CELL WITHIN A BATTERY BECOME
RUPTURED, DO NOT ALLOW CONTACT WITH WATER.

CHARGING:
THIS BATTERY IS MADE TO BE CHARGED MANY TIMES. USE AN APPROVED BATTERY
CHARGER. NEVER USE A MODIFIED OR DAMAGED BATTERY CHARGER. DO NOT CHARGE FOR
OVER 180 MINUTES OR REPEAT CHARGING WITHOUT INTERMITTENT DISCHARGING.
A BACKUP CHARGE TERMINATION BASED ON TIME IS RECOMMENDED TO PREVENT
OVERCHARGING. THE CHARGING TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE BETWEEN 0 DEG. C AND
50 DEG. C (32 DEG. F AND 120 DEG. F). THE BATTERY PACK WILL NORMALLY WARM
DURING CHARGING.

CHARGING VOLTAGES AND CURRENTS:
CHARGING VOLTAGES ARE PREVENTED FROM EXCEEDING THE SPECIFIED LIMITS BY AN
INTERNAL BATTERY PROTECTION CIRCUIT. NEVER USE A BATTERY WHICH SHOWS SIGNS
OF A DAMAGED PROTECTION CIRCUIT OR BROKEN CASE. (SUCH DAMAGE TO THE
PROTECTION CIRCUIT MAY BE INDICATED BY VOLTAGES AT THE BATTERY TERMINALS
OUTSIDE OF THEIR SPECIFIED RANGES.) ADHERE TO ALL SPECIFIED CHARGING AND
DISCHARGING VOLTAGES AND CURRENTS. DO NOT USE BATTERY IF ITS VOLTAGE DROPS
BELOW THE SPECIFIED MINIMUM VOLTAGE.

LABELING:
IF THE LABEL OR PACKAGE WARNINGS ARE NOT VISIBLE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO
PROVIDE A PACKAGE AND/OR DEVICE LABEL STATING:

WARNING:
CHARGE ONLY WITH SPECIFIED CHARGERS ACCORDING TO DEVICE MANUFACTURERS
INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT OPEN BATTERY, DISPOSE OF IN FIRE, OR SHORT
CIRCUIT - MAY IGNITE, EXPLODE, LEAK, OR GET HOT CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY.

DISPOSAL:
RECYCLE OR DISPOSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, AND
LOCAL REGULATIONS.

SECTION VI - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: NOT NECESSARY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: NOT NECESSARY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.

EYE PROTECTION:
NOT NECESSARY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE
SHIELDS IF HANDLING AN OPEN OR LEAKING BATTERY.

GLOVES:
NOT NECESSARY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. USE NEOPRENE OR NATURAL RUBBER
GLOVES IF HANDLING AN OPEN OR LEAKING BATTERY.

OPEN BATTERY STORAGE:
BATTERY SHOULD NOT BE OPENED. SHOULD A CELL BECOME DISASSEMBLED, THE
ELECTRODE SHOULD BE STORED IN A FIREPROOF CABINET, AWAY FROM COMBUSTIBLES.

SECTION VII - REGULATORY INFORMATION

THE TRANSPORTATION OF LITHIUM-POLYMER (AND ANY OTHER RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM
CHEMISTRIES) PACKS WITH UP TO 8 GRAMS OF EQUIVALENT LITHIUM CONTENT, AS
DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT, IS NOT REGULATED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION OR THE MAJOR INTERNATIONAL REGULATORY BODIES. EQUIVALENT
LITHIUM CONTENT FOR LITHIUM ION AND LITHIUM POLYMER CELLS AND BATTERIES IN
GRAMS ON A PER CELL BASIS IS CALCULATED AS 0.3 TIMES THE RATED CAPACITY IN
AMPERE-HOURS. THE EQUIVALENT LITHIUM CONTENT FOR A BATTERY OR BATTERY PACK
IS THE RATED CAPACITY IN AMPERE-HOURS FOR A SINGLE CELL MULTIPLIED BY 0.3
AND THEN MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF CELLS IN THE BATTERY.
